Funding Options
About
A nonprofit organization is an entity that is created and operated for charitable or socially beneficial purposes rather than to make a profit.
Candid provides information on how are nonprofits funded. They provide webinar and videos for free on how to utilize their material.
Library Databases
Below are Marriott Library resources that help in the process of identifying funding options for both nonprofit and for profit organizations.

With Pivot-RP, ProQuest continues their commitment to empower researchers around the world with tools that they need at various stages of their research lifecycle. Pivot-RP is intuitive and easy to use. It is designed for a researcher - anyone from corporate to academia (faculty, staff researchers, and graduate students) can benefit from using it. - Guidestar by Candid This link opens in a new windowGuidestar provides information on IRS-recognized nonprofit organizations, including public charities, private foundations, and trade associations.
